• Windows Forms Collection Editor Problems

  I am writing a ListView from scratch, and I am having some issues writing the Detail mode. I have a custom CollectionEditor for my ColumnHeaderCollection (inherits from CollectionBase).   When the Collection Editor finishes it generates the correct code, whatever is supposed to call AddRange(...) to the collection is not doing it.   So, until the form (the control is on) is closed and opened again it shows no ColumnHeaders.   To ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there a way around this situation?

  I have an application that reads a text file, strips off the trailing spaces from each record and writes them to another file.  Each record is input at 485 bytes.  The output file will contain variable length records.  The reason for this is because the input file is 1.4+ meg in size and trimming the trailing spaces makes the file smaller and easier to process.
